“Anchovy tritium is eventually released from the body.” Professor KAIST

On the 18th, when Democratic Party lawmakers Lee Hak-young and Woo Won-shik visited the Wolseong nuclear power plant in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, residents are protesting, blocking access. News 1

KAIST Professor Jeong Yong-hoon, who pointed out that’the residents near the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant in Gyeongju, Gyeongsangbuk-do, have been exposed to about 1 gram of anchovy in one year’ said, “(In anchovies) potassium and tritium are eventually released from the body with an effective half-life. He is one of the leading nuclear and quantum engineering authorities in Korea.

Professor Jeong said on his Facebook page on the 18th, “The’special danger’ of tritium is claimed by a person named Chris Busby, and it has already been found to be wrong,” he said. “As a result of a review by CERRIE, a committee formed by the British government, Busby’s “The model concluded that it lacks biological validity under the basic prerequisites, and there is no evidence or findings to support the conclusion.”

“But in Korea, it is being expanded and reproduced by Mr. A, etc.,” he said. “Tritium is a radioactive material. If the amount of exposure exceeds 100mSv (millisievert), the effect appears.” You can ignore it. Six bananas cause 0.6 µSv exposure,” he added. Mr. A, referred to by Professor Jung, was a member of the Moon Jae-in camp and was a professor at a university medical school.

Professor Jeong said in an article a day ago, “It is not that special and is already considered, although we repeatedly mention the special danger of tritium.” “Tritium water (HTO) is converted into some organically bound tritium (OBT) and discharged. “The whole process of doing so is already in the dose assessment. The effect of tritium is somewhat overestimated. That’s about 20%, so it doesn’t mean much.”

“(In anchovies) potassium and tritium are eventually released from the body with an effective half-life. And, anchovies are mainly exposed to polonium, not potassium. If evaluated as an effective dose, the exposure of tritium 0.6μSv is potassium It is equal to 0.6μSv and equal to polonium 0.6μSv,” he added, adding that the amount of tritium exposure compared to 1g of anchovies is appropriate.

Meanwhile, Professor Jeong said on the 8th, “The amount of exposure to tritium in the area around Wolseong for one year is 6 bananas (intake), 1g anchovy (about 0.25g dried anchovy), and 500% of the self-exposure of my body. 1 (less than one day), and about 1/100 of a chest x-ray,” he said. “At the level discussed now (in academia), the presence of exposure and cancer are not related. (Passport) The story of Wolseong radioactivity is Wolseong. It has been said that it is intended for investigation,” “Wolseong nuclear power plant radiation exposure? About 1g of anchovy” A hand of professor at KAIST, JoongAng Ilbo, January 9>.
